Jack
The new resident's name is Pam
She's brown and her webbed feet slam
The bowl we live in shakes from her
Kicks to swim, I stray from lure
She is blind, she cannot see
Due to that, she cannot feed
She grew hungry, more and more
Until her will against me tore
She kicked toward me,
Smiling happy
I jumped to escape
The misery she'd make
I jumped, she's swim up
Until my luck
Ran short
I left the fort
The world outside is so dry
That is what is can disguise
I try to just back in
But I get father than I've been
Hopefully someone will see me
Before I simply die
But after a while, I am not me
The world is just too dry
